Last Saturday on October 1, 2011, a new radio station Nigeria Info, 99.3FM hit the airwaves.
The new radio station is the 1st ever 24 hour News/Talk show and is targeted at replicating the Cable Network News (CNN) in Nigeria. It will cover the South West of Nigeria and will feature mostly talk-shows, news, sports with intermittent music.
The Managing Director, Mr. Amin Moussalli told newsmen at a recent media parley held in Victoria Island that the 24 hours Nigeria Info 99.3FM whose launch coincided with the nation’s 51st independence celebration would among many programmes relay two premiership matches live every Saturday and is a sister station to the existing Cool FM and Wazobia FM stations.
He disclosed that while Cool fm runs morning and afternoon, “The new Nigeria Info will be on nonstop programming for 24 hours”, adding that the management while sourcing for the best way to revolutionise Nigerian broadcast, engaged the famous CNN newscaster, Bill Tush as a consultant to train Nigeria Info crew. Bill Tush pioneered CNN from Channel 17 in Atlanta.
On the talk-show, Mr Moussalli stated that the market research conducted by the management showed that only 27 per cent populace actually likes music while 40 per cent go for talk-show programmes, adding,
Our target audience is the people of 25 years & above and anyone who is interested in hardcore news/topical talk shows.
Nigerians are becoming more demanding; we want tosatisfy more peoples’ yearnings in broadcasting; this new station which will certainly breach the missing link between the people and proper broadcasting is going to be CNN of a radio in Nigeria.
Talk-show callers will pay nothing because it is going to be toll-free; that is the best part of this; whoever calls at anytime for whatever duration would not be charged by service provider.
Meanwhile, the veteran Bill Tush commended Nigeria media for excellence, adding that it could compete favourably well with its counterparts anywhere in the world.
The new station will be championed by seasoned broadcasters and OAPs. Some of them are - Matse Uwatse, George Omagbemi, Femi Obong Daniels, Victor Orhorho & Onimisi Adaba.

I was thrilled when I turned on my radio set, started tuning and then discovered a radio station of my dream! 99.3fm-Nigeria Info. A radio station that will air a 24-hour non-stop talk shows that are educating and mind-building. It’s amazing!! And I exclaimed, ”Finally!!!!”. Keep up the good job u’ve started. I know one day I’ll join the family of Nigeria Info, the best radio station in town. It’d be nice if u can extend ur tantacles to other parts of the country.
i had a difficulty detaching myself from wazobia fm to any other radio station until this your new station came on board.
i just decided to have a taste and ever since then, i saw that i have been in love with the station.
Indeed, 99.3fm is actually the type of station i have been longing for.

I am a news freak and when I saw that this is what you offer I just want to thank you management for giving those of us in this realm a relief from the usual music stations.

YOU ARE THE BEST IN NIGERIA
Well to me as long as you are comfortable in what you wear, pls go out there and smile and look beautiful. Thanks
Hi people,his there any strick today?
The president told us the many things he will do with the proceeds from fuel subsidy removal, pls he should tell nigerians what he has done with the subsidy he removed from diesel because my truck runs on diesel .
Nigeria info is a station in a class of it’s own. Keep up the good work.
This station is best, when talking of the latest news, infotainment, sport especially football frenzy. In fact, i can’t listen 2 other again. U are my award winning radio station.
i stay in barracks along western avenue. my area is cool n calm. few bikes n commercial buses re operatin.
waoo this kind of station is what Nigeria need in this 21st century with balance presentation live and direct
nigeria info has been a source of inspiration to many. Its informative, educative and entertaining. On behalf of Nigerians, we are sayin thank u to d initiator, staff and d management of this station
Since the gov can’t go against itself,labour is only avenue& that’s the way it’s done everywhere in the world.i want those on side of the gov to tell nigerians how the subsidies that ve been removed 4rm AGO,GASOLINE & KEROZINE for over seven yrs now are been used. B4 we can trust the gov.on this. ONOJA EMMANUEL.
You people are wonderful, original in all aspect.plaese keep it up.
Tell JONA that 160million nigerians can not be wrong,you can only fool some people sometime and not all the people all the time.
65 naira or nothing
Nig info you are the bomb. You guys are really doing a great job. Keep it up the sky is the starting point.
Hello Themi I do apriciate u 4 d air time u sent 2 me on d 25th. May Baba God empower ur elbow. I lv 99.3 ur statin is d best 4 now kip it up gud job.
Temitope Temitayo Temilolu which one is ur ful name. Am intrestn 2 know.
Revert to 65 Naira and start negotiation. Government should do this in sympathy with berieved Nierians who lost
their loved ones in this strugle. We love our President and we expect a greater show of love to Nigerians. Many Nigerians are still battling on their return journey after the long holiday. Allow them to come back with reduced transport fares, settle down and do the total subsidy removal after important parliative measures must have been put in place. Our President should listen to the words of higly placed Nigerians who have tasted power and don’t want Nigeria to go in flames. Please try to address Nigerians again and shed the burden a little. The private sector is worse hit in the on-going strike, but we hope it is a necessary sacrifice to move Nigeria forward.
Pls i need the toll free line pls? 07086161416
My brother i don’t blame them some people just seeing everything a way to make some money for there self thanks
Goodmorning , may the almighty God bless this station in Jesus name Amen.
For me I still believe, that is not the President I voted for to help build the nation. He is a Leader not a Ruler. Please Protest is a right so no shaking let them say that to a goat or chicken.
The save Nigerian group should mind their words. The same pastor Tunde Bakare who was Buhari running mate in an election contested under cpc which they failed to make it, With this kind of unguarded statements bring this country to confusion confusion. He should know that leadership is ordain by Almighty God Who he serves.
Hello, at this point i think we need to say the truth always, and not to hide, Nigeria is on the way of breaking, imagine the callers not telling the truth all becouse jonathan is from their side. Its time to say the truth regardless of where we are from. God bless nigeria.

To curb graduate unemployment, let the NASS make the retirement age of civil servants be 55years or 20years service. The FG and State Govts to implement this for the next 5yrs.
